RMS401 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi, DJ. I'm fairly sure that a baby Diaper Genie wouldn't work for adult-sized diapers. Fortunately, they do make one for adults, called Confidante. I've not tried it, but it serves the exact function you're looking for--hold used diapers until you can dispose of them properly. http://www.liberatormedical.com/shop/default.asp?DeptID=245 -RMS P.S. You might want to replace your keyboard. I think your Shift key is broken. Link to comment
drynot Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 The Diaper Genie DOES work for some adult diapers. I own one and can fit an Attends 10 through the opening easily. You need to buy the genie with the wide opening. However, it won't work with thicker diapers such as Abri-Form X-plus. I don't use my diaper genie that much anymore. My diaper pail is really all that I need. I found that the diaper genie did a good job of reducing or eliminating the odours associated with wearing diapers but it was a bit of a hassle to empty. Not difficult, mind you, but just a PITA compared to a diaper pail. Link to comment

t baby Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 They are a pita to empty and they smelled. I just use bags and throw them in trash. As many diapers I use in a day i will be emptying it out twice a day. Link to comment
WetterGuy Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I had one of the adult ones that I bought at Walgreens several years ago. I don't think they still carry them. At the time it was good cuz I had an apartment mate who didn't know I wore diapers. I could dispose of them in my closet with a reduced smell, and wait until he was gone to empty it. It was hard to use, though, didn't always work just right, and only held 5-7 Depend briefs (can't imagine how few x-plus or Molicares it would hold). The size and weight of a soaked adult diaper is much more of a challenge to the mechanical principles of the diaper genie than a baby diaper is, even though it's supposedly "adult-size." So if you're in a situation where you need to be discreet, it's OK, but if you're in a place where u can just put your dirty diapers in an outside trash can or dumpster daily, that's much better.

babychrise Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I used to have one of the "adult" diaper genies. It's actually the same thing as a wide mouth diaper genie. It allowed me to take out my diaper trash less often, but I agree with what everyone else has said, it's not worth the trouble, and only holds 6 diapers. Link to comment
